The sky was faintly bright.

Without waiting for the little maid to call, Gu Yunji got up neatly, and after finishing grooming, he started a simple morning exercise in the yard.

It's been a month, and Gu Yunji still can't adapt to his current life. In addition to the change in identity environment, more importantly, how did she change from a woman to a man?

Gu Xue in the previous life finally paid off the student loan after working hard for a few years, and bought a long-desired skirt to prepare a small reward for herself, but as soon as she walked out of the mall, she was directly hit by a car from nowhere, and before she could react, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Gu Xue changed from a 25-year-old urban young woman who graduated from a bachelor's degree to a 14-year-old Gu Yunji, the son of the Gu family, who was not even a showman.

Although he is not as lucky as those who are dressed as princes and generals, but now he is well fed and clothed, and his family is not bad, compared to some traversers who are leaking thatched huts and children waiting to be fed as soon as they open their eyes, he is already very good.

In a month, Gu Yunji has a general understanding of the background of this era and the environment he is in.

This is an overhead world, the overall situation is a bit similar to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Great Xia Dynasty in which he is located has been established for more than 100 years, and now it is the beginning of the new monarch, and the year name was changed to Jingfeng in the first month of this year.

The Gu family is a big family in this dynasty, and the ancestor was the first batch of imperial examination ministers after the founding emperor established the dynasty, and he was a teacher for the prince. Now it is a veteran eunuch, and now the smoothest one in the clan has done the book of the criminal department, and nine times out of ten he will serve as a cabinet minister, which can be said to be a very popular minister, and the glory is incomparable.

It's a pity that Gu Yunji is not from his own family, but belongs to the Gu family branch.

There are two main branches of the Gu clan, one is in the capital, and most of the children in the family have official status, and many of them have slowly taken root in the capital through the imperial examination.

The other branch is in Jiangnan, which is also the real Gu family, and the ancestral hall is located here. The branch in the capital also originated here at the beginning, and later developed and grew in the capital.

The Gu clan is a big clan in Jiangnan, and the children of the clan are all over the world, and the power in the local Songjiang Mansion is even more intertwined. Among them, the descendants are mainly distributed in the city, and the old patriarch is from the former official to the Taishi, and now it is quite famous in the entire state capital.

And Gu Yunji's father Gu Kaizhen was born in the Gu family of Songjiang Mansion, he is a concubine, and he has not made any achievements in the imperial examination, only a show of talent and fame, and is not valued by the clan. Not long after he became an adult, he was separated and took root in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

As a concubine, he naturally couldn't get much property, and what he got at the beginning was only a hundred acres of land and three or four shops.

Although Gu Kaizhen is not good at the imperial examination, he is very talented in business, and the few shops he personally managed when he was young were very prosperous, making a lot of money, and his family business has grown a lot.

However, the hierarchical order of Shinong industry and commerce is there, no matter how much money you make, you are still despised in a scholarly family like the Gu family.

When the eldest son reached the age of enlightenment and study, Gu Kaizhen used most of the money to buy land, and from then on he became an idle landlord and squire, and cultivated his eldest son with peace of mind.

Therefore, although Gu Yunji is from a famous family, he can actually be said to be a son of a poor family. The poor family here is not really a poor class, but a family in the middle of the road, or a family with a weak power.

You must know that in ancient times when the hierarchy was clear, especially for the families who followed the elder system, the concubines were all descendants from low backgrounds, and the concubines were just children born under them, and most of them were not worth paying attention to.

Seventy or eighty percent of the family property will be inherited by the eldest son in the future, and the rest will also be distributed to the rest of the sons-in-law.

Only a few concubines with outstanding abilities will the family attach importance to them, so as to tilt more resources to cultivate them.

As a concubine, Gu Yunji knew that if he didn't enter the official career, his future fate would definitely not be as good as his father's, and he would give himself dozens of acres of land.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji sighed. It seems that his best choice is to take the road of imperial examination and become an official. However, 14-year-old Gu Yunji only passed the hospital examination last year and became a child. The road to go is still very long.

At the end of the morning exercise, Gu Yunji was already sweating lightly.

At this time, the little servant Xu Dong reminded: "Third young master, the hour is almost up, it's time to go and say hello to the old lady." ”

Gu Yunji agreed, and after tidying up his appearance, he walked towards the main courtyard.

At the gate of the main courtyard, the eldest young master Gu Yunxiao was already waiting there.

Gu Yunxiao is the eldest son of his wife, who has been valued since he was a child, and when he reached the age of studying, he was personally enlightened by his father Gu Kaizhen. Gu Yunxiao did not live up to his parents' expectations, he studied very hard, and he was admitted to Xiucai a few years ago. This year, the new emperor ascended the throne and opened Enke, and he also participated in the township test in advance, but now the list has not been released, and I don't know what the results are.

As an elder brother, Gu Yunxiao has always loved his younger siblings very much, and when he saw the fine sweat on Gu Yunji's forehead, he asked:

"Why did you sweat so early in the morning? But the body is a little weak? A few days ago, I got a good ginseng plant, and the third brother took it back to replenish qi and blood. ”

Gu Yunji bowed, and rejected Gu Yunxiao's kindness with a smile: "Thank you big brother for your concern." I'm fine, I just get up in the morning and run a few laps to get up and exercise. ”

In fact, Gu Yunji has been practicing in the morning for several days, but Gu Yunxiao went to Fucheng to take the township test a few days ago, and he didn't know.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao nodded appreciatively and encouraged: "Recently, I have made progress, in the past, you used to stuff yourself in your room all day long and study, and you didn't go out much, but now you look more energetic." ”

While speaking, the second young master Gu Yunlin also arrived.

He, like Gu Yunji, is also a concubine. However, his biological mother, Aunt Sun, was born in Yangzhou as a thin horse, and her background is worse than Gu Yunji's biological mother, Aunt Zhao. But Aunt Sun has always been very favored, so his life is second only to that of the eldest young master Gu Yunxiao.

Seeing that the two were waiting for him, Gu Yunlin's face turned red, and after saluting Gu Yunxiao perfunctorily, he walked to Gu Yunji's side and stood still.

When everyone arrived, Gu Yunxiao led his two younger brothers into the courtyard to say goodbye.

The rules of the Gu family are strict, and the young masters, regardless of their grandchildren, are kept in the front yard, and after getting up in the morning, they go to the hall with the old lady to have breakfast, and then go to school separately.

The ladies should have a more relaxed time, and they can come and greet their ladies after breakfast in their boudoirs. As for dinner, no matter the young master or young lady, they have to wait for everyone to arrive and eat together in the hall.

In the hall, the old man Gu Kaizhen and his wife Wang were already sitting upright.

After Gu Yunji and the three of them asked for peace, they also sat down.

Gu Kaizhen looked at his eldest son, his eyes were full of satisfaction: "Xiao'er has now finished the township exam, if she wins this time, it will give our family a good face, even compared with your cousins in Fucheng, it is also very good." ”

Gu Yunxiao is nineteen years old this year, if he can be lifted once, it will be compared to most of his cousins of the same generation, and he will definitely be able to win the favor of his grandfather in Fucheng, and even Gu Kaizhen himself can get more attention from the family.

Hearing this, the second young master Gu Yunlin secretly pursed his lips.

This scene was taken into Mrs. Wang's eyes, and she said quietly: "Brother Lin and Brother Ji also have to work hard, and they will come out of the hall as soon as possible, and they will also shine on the lintel of my Gu family." ”

Gu Kaizhen suddenly seemed to remember something, his face turned grim, and his eyes swept towards his second son:

"Hmph, the day before yesterday, Wei Fuzi told me that the second child's homework these days is a mess! I don't know what you've been doing all day, you're eighteen now! It took two or three exams to be able to be admitted to Xiucai, and he was still at the bottom. If you don't work again, I'll break your legs!" ”

As soon as Gu Yunlin saw his father's eyes, he secretly screamed that it was not good, and now he was scolded more and more depressed, and he shrank in the chair like a quail and didn't dare to come out.

Gu Kaizhen scolded and scolded, and the afterglow swept to Gu Yunji, and the words began:

"There is also the third child, you must also work hard, if there is anything you don't understand, ask the master more, don't be silent all day long."

Gu Yunji's generosity should be: "The son will live up to the expectations of his father and mother, listen to the teachings of the master, and study well." ”

Hearing this, Gu Kaizhen glanced at him a few more times, Gu Yunji used to be introverted and spoke submissively, but now he looks a little different.

However, he only became a child last year, although he is more down-to-earth than the second child, but he doesn't have much brain, he has no talent for reading, and he can't count on the future. Thinking of this, Gu Kaizhen secretly shook his head.

After a while, breakfast was served, and the Gu family did not say a word, and everyone ate silently on the small table in front of them, and there was silence in the hall for a while.
